A club members Doubles Competition will be run this year as a league with matches being played throughout the summer at times convenient to the teams involved. 

There will be a “date window” to play each round of matches.   If holidays or other reasons make the windows difficult, leeway may be given in as fair a way as possible as long as the competition progresses and we can conclude it by the end of September.  

Matches may be arranged at any time or day of the week acceptable to both teams. Matches do not have to be during club sessions and where possible should be at other times or days.

Matches will be 1 game to 13 points, scores should be recorded and entered on the scoresheet in the club house.

“Party in the Park”

Despite the very showery weather on Sunday 26th May 2024 the club supported the “Party in the Park”in aid of the Carnival and Tar Barrels  event at the Millenium Green 

Great support and very active recruiting was going on by those members who turned up to support the Club. Magali, Rose, Peter, Sue and I set up the gazebo and shooting stance rigged with lots of photos, boules and information leaflets. We were then supported throughout the day by Mike and Janet, Terry, Sue Macmanus, Nick and both Keiths with Brian who stayed to help pack up in the rain. Many thanks to all those members who gave of their time in the rain!
